I'll be putting together a new GA-P55A-UD4P system over the next week & setting up RAID0 (2x Samsung spinpoint 1TB drives) on the Intel SATA2_0 & SATA2_1 ports. I'm new to RAID & I need a few points cleared up. I have to enable RAID in the BIOS (obvious) 'PCH SATA Control Mode' to RAID, does that mean the rest of the ports (02-05) are limited to raid or can I hookup an sata DVD or hard drive & run them in IDE mode or AHCI on say ports 02 & 03, I'd prefer to leave the 'Marvell' ports (06-07) disabled for now. Also the Bios setting in 'Intergrated Peripherals' 'SATA Port0-3 Native Mode' does that need to be enabled for my setup to work. Any suggestions with the RAID setup & BIOS settings would be most appreciated.
